Woah! That’s great!

Carbon nanotubes today, graphine tomorrow...

Trees have been doing it since the dawn of time right?

Creating the super-strong material out of something harmful could kill two birds with one stone.

Stopped right there.

Carbon dioxide is CRITICAL to life as we know it. With carbon dioxide, plants die. Plants produce oxygen. We breathe oxygen. This is second-grade science. Why are they constantly pounding this "carbon dioxide is poison" schtick?

The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide is at its highest levels in hundreds of thousands of years and as matters get worse...

Yeah, those archived readings from tens and hundreds of thousands of years ago show how badly we are polluted with plant food.

They’ve figured out a way to make four leaf clovers.

something harmful

Carbon dioxide is "something harmful"?

Tell me more about how leftist are pro-science.

Who writes this stuff. CO2 is heavier than air. This is evidenced by all the phytoplankton in the sea. Without CO2, all plant life in the ocean dies.

So stupid.

The religion of ‘Global Warming’ in a nutshell:

CO2 is a greenhouse gas that threatens Earth with overheating in spite of it being intrinsic to the survival of life on Earth via plant photosynthesis.
  therefor....
CO2 is a pollutant.
  therefor....
CO2 pollution must be reduced to save Earth.
  therefor....
Leftists are good because they fight pollution from CO2 emissions.
  therefor....
'Global Warming' deniers are evil because they don't fight pollution from CO2 emissions.
  therefor....
CO2 is exhaled by humans.
  therefor....
Non-leftist humans must be eliminated and pay for the privilege of being genocided via carbon taxes.

Scientists at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, alongside private sector scientists there, have developed a non-traditional way to construct small-diameter carbon nanotubes, called CNTs

Global warming people are a bunch of CNTs.

More commonly used for health purposes, lithium carbonate is often used in tandem with treatment of mental health disorders.


Make that *three* birds, treatment for leftists being the third.

The author needs to go back and take 7th grade science again. This process does NOT remove CO2 from the air, it removes if from lithium carbonate. The amount of CO2 in the air stays exactly the same. In addition, the energy to liberate the carbon requires more burning of fossil fuels than is “captured”. Why not simply use the carbon in coal? Besides all that, the mass of useful nanotubes is trivial compared with the mass of CO2 the Global Warming religious zealots want removed.

I haven’t cranked the numbers, but I strongly suspect any CO2 -—to-—> carbon nanotubes reaction is going to be exergonic - it’s going to be a process that’s uphill in energy.

And if I’m right and you’ve got to put a pile of energy into the process to get it to go, I doubt you’re going to get that energy from sunshine or your friendly neighborhood windmill - not if you have to work with a molten salt at a temperature of over 700 degrees.

How about feeding it to plants? You know, air for plants? Going green? Save the Planet type stuff.

How preposterous is this?

Mankind puts out 1010 tons of CO2 per year.

How many devices that weigh 10-10 tons would have to be made every year to put a dent in CO2 output?

Maybe if every human being on the planet needed ten million of them every year.

Propaganda.

“The main cause of global warming is CO2.” Just plain false on many fronts.

Assuming you buy many of their assumptions, water vapor has about 100 time the concentration as co2. (Ps - this is rarely mentioned because mankind does not impact atmospheric water at all.)
